Reaction Steps

3,4-Dichlorocinnamic acid (6.5g) (Ex.Aldrich), dimethylsulphate (3.77 g), potassium carbonate (4.13 g) and anhydrous acetone heated together under reflux. After cooling and filtration the acetone was removed and the residue recrystallised (80:20-hexane: ether) to give methyl 3,4-dichlorocinnamate as a colourless solid (4 g).
